We enjoy staying at this site. Unfortunately, this time around our room door took many tries to open (needs to be fixed).
4.2
Clean and simple. Recently remodeled. Everything you need for a quick trip to see your Cal Poly Student for a weekend. Parking is tight, but adequate. Pool being redone. Maid service didnt happen.
4.2
Nice place to stay for the night. Continental breakfast was less than we expected but for the price of the room we can’t complain. Desk manager was very courteous and helpful.
4.2
Parking was a challenge as they are reconfiguring and installing new asphalt. When I arrived they couldn’t find my itinerary as my ID did not match the name I booked it under. I think that was more a Hotel,com error. I had to wait hours for ice from the one ice machine that they have. I am 5’2” and would have benefitted from a step stool to get in the very tall bed. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. There were no healthy choices.
4.2
Room smelled like urine. Dust all over the floors.
4.2
Place had construction going on for the pool and the workers were just on the site drinking until 8pm then the room next to us were partying until past midnight slamming doors and being extremely loud. Offered no compensation and the breakfast is just coffee, bananas and 2 different pastries. You have to pay for the water or juice.
4.2
Construction was occurring at the time we were there.
4.2
The rooms appeared newly renovated and were very modern
4.2
We were first given room 117 and were moved to another room after I complained that there was mold in the bathroom ceiling. They are building a swimming pool at the entrance that blocks have the entrance so you cannot have one ar come in and another one exit at the same time (safety hazard). The so called breakfast leaves much ti be desired. A frozen bagel with egg and cheese that needed to be microwaved, banana, coffee and apple juice. No eggs, potatoes, waffles, orange juice, milk cereal, etc. Very, very poor. The rooms overall were clean but that is a merit to the girls who do the cleaning. The facility overall is not up to par.
4.2
This place looks way better in the photos. Rooms have been updated but the whole place feels dilapidated. I've stayed in worse but we would never stay here again.
4.2
not bad
4.2
Property under construction so its a bit of a mess and parking entrance is not very big. Average facility.
4.2
Property undergoing renovations. Pool wasn't available which wasn't listed when booking the hotel. The convenience of the place made it nice and the staff was pleasant.
4.2
The rooms were big and clean, but the property is dated and has limited outlets to plug things in. The beds were also very hard and the pillows very cheap. The continental breakfast was very simple consisting of one breakfast sandwich, bananas, water, coffee, and juice. The pool was also under construction, which was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Not worth the 250 a night we paid to stay there.
4.2
The hotel was under construction and the parking lot was hard to navigate. The check in was great, friendly staff. The room was good, just on the older side. Very quiet, the breakfast was minimal.
4.2
We picked up this room night at the last minute and got a fantastic price. Room was clean and spacious. Service was friendly enough Wi-Fi iffy and the breakfast was basically microwaved sandwiches but for the price it was clean and safe and convenient.
4.2
Would stay again
4.2
We've stayed with this hotel many nights over 4 years and the regular couple are usually lovely I don't know who filled in this time but they were rude gruf and didn't know their job
4.2
Good for a one night stay. Rooms are clean.
4.2
Positive - room had been updated and was nice. Large and well equipped.
Room for improvement - exterior fairly run down. Looks like they’re putting money into building a small swimming pool - probably not money well spent.
Poor - honestly, the worst “continental breakfast” I’ve ever seen. Two prepackaged food options - both gross - and a banana. Had to go offsite to get food for my family - this was not acceptable.
4.2
Nice little property with construction occurring which understandably diminished the overall experience…but will improve with that completed.
4.2
The area around is under construction now, so there is a lot of dust around parking lot.
The staff was nice. Morning breakfast - limited choice (bananas, cheese sandwich and meat sandwich), only one coffee machine and a big line. The microwave kept turning off when people were trying to warm up sandwiches.
The room had enough space for 2 people, and clean. However, there was constant pipe (or smth else outside) buzzing noise through the night. We arrived late and wanted to go straight to bed, so didn't go to reception to ask to switch rooms.
Overall ok but could have been better
4.2
The hotel was just cheap and bare.
4.2
Nice
4.2
Swimming pool is under construction. The entrance is also the exit and the path to parking narrows to a single lane before going to parking. Continental breakfast is standard at best. The rooms are nice and well kept. The location is good for area dining options and freeway access. Overall a decent value choice.
4.2
The rooms were clean and comfortable. They are in the process of updating them. They need some sort of comfy chair as another option to sit other than the bed. Could also use a coffee maker in the room.
Staff was very nice!
4.2
Cheap/hard beds. Low-quality liquid soaps/shampoo. Only 2 towels provided for double queen room. Overall, low-quality amenities. It felt like costs were cut to the point that customer satisfaction was not the goal.
4.2
Excellent, kind and very friendly manager!
4.2
The staff was genuine and accommodating. Check-in was a breeze and the room was clean. The Inn is close to everything and we will definitely be back the next time we are in San Luis Obispo.
4.2
Property looks better in photos than it actually is. There was a hair on the toilet seat. Wobbly toilet base. Strange bed base. Heavy chemical smell as I walked in. Breakfast was over ripe bananas with 2 plastic wrapped items which I don’t know exactly what they were. You can’t call that breakfast. Very 2 star motel vibe. I was expecting more. The front desk staff were friendly.
4.2
The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The lighting in the room was a too bright and wish there was a better low light option.
4.2
Cockroaches. Rude, unresponsive management when I alerted them.
4.2
This hotel was perfect for a quick stop on our trip. We just needed a few beds and a clean room!
Receptionist was very friendly
4.2
Under renovation right now but is fine to stay there. Will be wonderful when renovations are completed.
4.2
This was a great 2-night stay. Even though there was still construction on the pool, and the parking lot needs work (which I believe may be coming in a future phase of improvements), the staff was GREAT. The room was also great, being redone with new flooring and can lights in the redone ceiling. The beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast was also very good, including two flavors of coffee from a Keurig machine, breakfast sandwiches, packaged sweet rolls, fruit, and bottled juices and water. I'm hoping to get back there in the next few weeks.
4.2
For one night it was…. Wouldn’t want to stay any longer. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. People were smoking right outside our room. Our kids get cold. We went to the front desk to ask for an extra blanket. In the entire hotel they didn’t have an extra to spare. Would not recommend
4.2
We stayed for the weekend and it was perfect. This hotel is near by downtown . The pool wasn’t working but we didn’t mind because it was cold. Great customer service and breakfast was on point!
4.2
Friendly staff, quiet room
4.2
The parking lot was undergoing construction which was inconvenient and made the cars incredibly dirty. The EV charger is very overpriced.
4.2
It's an motel-style inn, clean, friendly, quiet with free breakfast. The windows can be opened for fresh air. Its surrounding is a litlle hilly with lots of trees. I felt it's safe around.
